"This book provides the busy clinician with a quick, symptom-based guide to the clinical presentation, diagnosis, work-up, and management of the most common types of movement disorders encountered in clinical practice, including Parkinson's disease, chorea, dystonia, myoclonus, and ataxia. Written in expanded outline format, with frequent diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms, tables, and scales, it is an essential guide for clinicians faced with patients with movement disorders.
A Practical Approach to Movement Disorders is a welcome departure from the typical lengthy, disease-based hardbound texts ill suited for the busy clinician.

It then details the medical, surgical, and non-pharmacological approaches, including speech and swallowing therapy and physical and occupational therapy.

<li>A focus on the most common movement disorders</li>
<li>A unique section on the neurological aspects of deep brain stimulation (DBS)</li>
<li>Dozens of diagnostic and management pearls </li>

Rodriguez, a physician renown for his Parkinson’s clinical work, empowers readers by laying out the terms that will soon come to define the lives of loved ones. It dispels the mysteries of carbidopa, levodopa and other drugs that can provide a quality of life to those who would not otherwise enjoy one. Dr. Rodriguez touches on critical every-day tasks, noting the importance of things as seemingly benign as the wear pattern on shoes. These pages come to life with stories of actual patients and their caregivers navigating a world they could not have foreseen. Throughout, Dr. Rodriguez serves as an expert guide.
